Ex 10.2, 1 Construct ∆XYZ in which XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm.
First we draw a rough sketch
We follow these steps
Steps of construction
1. Draw a line segment XY of length 4.5 cm
2. Taking 6 cm as radius,
and X as center,
draw an arc.
3. Taking 5 cm as radius,
and Y as center,
draw another arc.
Let Z be the point where the two arcs intersect
Join XZ and YZ
and label the sides
Thus, Δ XYZ is the required triangle
